How to remove Duracoat?

[FUPAGUNT]

Does anyone know if soaking it in Acetone will take this stuff off? I read some mixed reviews around the internetz as to whether it will work or not

No it will not come off with acetone if it is dry. Acetone will take it of when you are spraying it and it is still wet. Break out the sandpaper...

i had to sandblast an ak-47 that i tried duracoat on and it turned out BAAAAAAAAAD. i then use birchwood casy's rust & blue remover to get in the cracks and tight spots. a lot of work but i got er done.

Can't you use oven cleaner to get it off? I thought I read that somewhere. I will see if I can find it again.

UPDATE: Jasco Paint and Epoxy Remover works.

After spraying a bunch of duracote, and ceracoat, and using both types of coating in the field I say their is not much difference. Duracoat holds just as well as ceracoat if its layed down right. Prep work is the key. They are both tough, that being said I would rather spray Duracoat, and I would rather use Duracoat in the field environment. I have a walther target .22 that i have duracoated the slide O.D. green. It is dedicated to my 4 wheeler. It stays in the large toolbox own the front of my Polaris. I have driven my four wheeler everywhere with that gun sliding around in that box. Pull it out it still looks great the Duracoat doesn't scratch and holds up very well...

I know cerakote won't hold up like that, mine are wearing on edges from normal use.

I have used Jasco Premium to remove Durabake (similar to duracoat, but baked on) successfully.

I just had Jeremy from CWGS in Navarre in the shop here, he does duracoat, super nice guy. Anyone ever use them?
